Payphones Past

This TCC Teleplex payphone is, for the season, nestled among some Christmas trees on Broadway in Astoria. The number for this payphone is (718) 956-5542 but bah, humbug, it rejects incoming calls.
That’s too bad, as this location is an interesting spot even without the seasonal decorations.

Happy Holidays from The Payphone Project!
